Young Thug is requesting the return of his cars, cash, and jewelry seized during the YSL raid.

WSB-TV 2 Atlanta reports that the rapper’s attorneys are seeking the return of items seized during his May 2022 arrest, including a 2022 Chevrolet Corvette, a 2022 Porsche 911, two Mercedes-Benz AMG GTs, expensive jewelry, firearms, and $149,426 in cash.

A civl hearing regarding this matter was scheduled to take place Friday (Feb. 21) but was canceled, according to the judge’s staff.

Back in December, following the verdicts of two YSL RICO case defendants, Thug’s father, Jeffery Williams Sr., spoke about his son’s situation, saying that he “did what he felt like he wanted to do” by taking the plea deal that led to his release in October.

“He’s doing great, honestly,” said Williams about Thug. “We still fighting. It’s not over for us.”

Then, Williams turned his attention to the Fulton County D.A. office, saying, “It’s a piece of shit. You know we gotta get those people out of there. If we wanna continue to have justice, we gotta get ‘em out of there, alright?”

Following his release from prison, Drake allegedly gave Young Thug one million dollars to help with his transition back to civilian life.

DJ Akademiks announced the news that “he heard” while talking to his supporters on a livestream in November. "Y'all want to hear this play I heard?" said Akademiks. "Watch, he gon' hit me up, like, 'Yo, how you heard?' 'Cause he ain't tell me. That's my mans. When Thug gets let out of jail, the talk is this. They say two hours afterwards, Drake flew to Thug and allegedly gave him a mil'. Drake didn't tell me this. Drake gon' hit me up and be, like, 'Who told you this?'”
